  1. There is a screen in Grande that you can choose which phone to connect to the BT in the car.
  2. No. The blue tooth carries a set of codes per device ... a 4 pairs of hex code. So it can range from 00:00:00:00 to FF:FF:FF:FF. That makes (with my rough calculation) 4,294,967,296 combination. The changes of one exact combination within the 10m effective range is.... next to zero. eDIT: I was told it may use more (like the MAC address). So more combination http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address
  3. I will not holding my breath about any compensation for your inconvenience that they may have caused... <_<
  4. I have not paid for it yet because the part was not AVAILABLE! <_< So much for Toyota when a simple rubber is not there on their shelf
  5. Ray This is not good enough. It is time to name and shame if I were you. Cannon Toyota in Heidelberg was good. I forgot to ask them about the headlight... (in fact I thought they were a bit too soon to come on since I get it on driving under a bridge at highway speed). I have to wait for 20K now :(
  6. Do you lock your car at home? I never seen that
  7. You can do that. I think you have to get to a dealer to do so.
  8. Ah yeah. I have done it and up the level to +2. It is marginally better. I was advised by some American in Toyota Nation not to go overboard, the sound will be worse; they suggest +2. Anyone try otherwise?
  9. It will do the mobile radar, the V1 also detect the laser too. Needless to say they are not legal. You also need to have the Valentine V1 installed, it is only the display unit only. You should go back to your homelink mirror idea in the first place. Let me know if it is a plug and play item. If it is, then I will get one. My remote is nicely in the easy to reach place in the centre console (just next to the left knee). But putting button on the mirror is cool
  10. or the Gentex HomeLink Stealth Radar Valentine One 1 V1 Mirror
  11. I can see a lot of calculation going on try to use this http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
  12. In terms of safety and the health of the engine. 91 Octane is find, unless you are towing or racing the engine , anything that the ECU has been tuned for is ok. :) B) I do mix the fuel ;) . Tell you what I found regularly. I found 91 Octane have much worse fuel consumption compare a full tank of 98 <_< . I have to honest <_< and said I have not tried the 95 yet and I never have experience in them. They are the slowest turnover fuel there is in the servo. So I think fresher fuel is better (hence 98 Octane). I tell you my experience. My wife and I just done 10000km in the car. 1. On city runs (around Kew and no freeway), although it is hard to know since the mixture is not the same everytime: I get about 16.5L/100km on 91 Octane but I get as low as 14.9L/100km on 98 Octane, but it is normally in the low 15L. when I put 10% 98 with the rest 91. I get 15.9L/100km 2. I do long trip twice in this car, that is freeway only: I get about 10.2L/100km in the 91 Octane. But I get 8.9L/100km in the 98 Octane. *(then I go to the Great ocean road and it increases to 10.2L/100km, so I dunno) 3. One a time I tow my sports car, full 98 Octane gets 16L/100km. Back trip uses the V power racing (100 Octane), I get down to the 14sL/100km I think when the fuel is only 10c per litre more. It is like around 7.5% more of the 91 Octane. I think there is under 10% increase in fuel consumption. I thought it is very marginal. But the mix fuel is only marginally more expensive, but I get 3% better economy. Go figure. haha. I was told by my dealer that though: When towing use 98. Every 1 of 5 tank use 98. I think it is logical. Plus 98 has more power. So when I am driving it.... use 98. When my wife is driving it use 91 haha
  13. Even work in the rain yesterday.... Now do we rubbing salt in his wound
  14. Sorry to raise the dead thread :) Full details here http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleD...50001&vf=15
  15. Sensor is at the back of handle......
  16. ..rent ^_^ . Which one is it though.
  17. Yes I will change it when it have streaks, although by cleaning them frequently you will make it last longer. I use rainX a lot and love to keep the front window clean and visible as much as I could. It is safety for yourself really. So far it does not have streak yet.
  18. 2 things when the handle does not work. 1) Do you have another key near by or in the car. It will not work. 2) hold the back of handle and wait the beep to take place. And do not wear gloves when you do so :P
  19. No it is not worn but I tend to change it every 10K if I was cheap to make it use properly. Mind you in 4 months and 10K the Mazda one will be worn. But the Kluger one is ok Yes it is service advantage sorry. rzkman. $150 is for everything, including any factory repair (presume under warranty). Any extra request is extra. My senior college at work told me once that she complained about the sat nav map in her Kluger being too old and they replaced another one for free! :o Can I try that? Btw why when I typed the word *** (the man in heaven) it will blank out?
  20. Well first service as most of you in the diamond program is $150. Cheap cheap. The wiper is extra cost. Mazda charges $22 for a set. Well I thought may as well for my Kluger at the 10K service. **** they quote me $55 a set for the front! Anyway, they don't have one in stock so I am forced to do it at 20K. Thank *** that there is no rain in Melbourne and the wiper does not get used often.
  21. Eject the disc and have a look. Or in the coverage (function in the menu).
  22. What are they in terms of brand X5 is standard with Michelin Cross... (something)
  23. Yes it replaces the whole white bit (I have the part in my garage) which like a diffuser of the car. I like the tow bar. I bolted on the structure of the car very well.
  24. Well today I try to get up a not very steep muddy track... can't. Just realised that I have not done any 4WD training and I forgot to turn the VDC off. No mood to persist on it and went back on the bitumen coz I was about 190km from the destination tonight. (Side note: Is it possible to have Ausstar but not all the sports channel? I am missing Fox Sports 1 for the Premier League football, My fav Man Utd playing Liverpool).
